Tongue Scraping Benefits and Techniques
Benefits
Better breath - clears toxins, bacteria, and dead skin cells that can accumulate on our tongue, causing bad breath.
Improves our sense of taste
Promotes oral, immune, gut and lymphatic health
Stimulates our internal organs to get ready for morning digestion.
Improves self-health awareness. I love this last one. By taking a couple of minutes each morning to look at and cleanse your tongue, it gives your an opportunity to get curious and connect to your body in and act of self-care. self-care = self-love!
Level Up
Amp up your mouth routine by following a tongue scraping with a large glass of tepid water, then brush your teeth with a clay-based remineralizing toothpaste, and using a swishing oil. You will have a healthy mouth and a glowing smile in no time.
How to Use
Start to finish, it takes less than 2 minutes, which makes it accessible and easy to include in your morning routine.
Best done early in the morning before drinking or eating.
Next, open your mouth wide and notice your tongue in the mirror. Notice the colour and texture.
Then, rinse your tongue scraper under warm water to gently warm it up.
Then, hold the handles with one in each hand, place the flat part of the tongue scraper, angled on its edge near the back of your tongue, and gently drag it forward, rinsing the scraper under the water in between.
Repeat this method 5-8 times.
When you are finished, rinse your mouth with water and store your copper tongue scraper in the cloth bag.
Now, stick out your tongue again and notice the colour and texture of your tongue in the mirror.
Repeat daily each morning as desired.
